1Jesus summoned His twelve disciples and gave them
authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every
kind of disease and every kind of sickness.

2Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: The
first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; and James
the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3Philip and
Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of
Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; 4Simon the Zealot, and Judas
Iscariot, the one who betrayed Him.

5These twelve Jesus sent out after instructing them:
"Do not go in the way of the
Gentiles, and do not enter any city of the Samaritans;6but rather go to the lost sheep of
the house of Israel.7"And
as you go, preach, saying, `The kingdom of heaven is at hand.'8"Heal the sick, raise
the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you
received, freely give.9"Do
not acquire gold, or silver, or copper for your money belts,10or a bag for your journey,
or even two coats, or sandals, or a staff; for the worker is worthy
of his support.11"And
whatever city or village you enter, inquire who is worthy in it, and
stay at his house until you leave that city.12"As
you enter the house, give it your greeting.13"If
the house is worthy, give it your blessing of peace. But if
it is not worthy, take back your blessing of peace.14"Whoever does not receive you,
nor heed your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake
the dust off your feet.15"Truly
I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom
and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.
